repeatedly requested (search bugzilla/mailing lists). repeatedly answered with the same response. I thought fedora was suposed to work as a distro where you added what people wanted and release it in redhat if it's sucesfull. If people are requesting bootsplash repeatly and you just ignore it then I gues fedora is not serving it's purpose or maybe I misunderstod? |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: i think that all of you have more importants things to do that put the bootsplash ,but i think that patching the kernel to enable the bootsplash, probably make more attractive to use this distribution, like suse ,gentoo or mandrake. In the website of bootsplash have a lot of patches for different kernel versions and i'm had succesfully patched a 2.6.3 kernel with bootsplash into my red hat 9, i suppose that is almost the same code and the same packages maybe it's not very difficult to implement it. i have only 1 problem but it's related with initscripts ... and my linux box looks so well. i have a runing version of initrc and other scripts working with the progress bar in the bootsplash. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1download 1 of the officials version of the kernels 2.download the appropiate version of the bootsplash for the kernekl version and patch it 3.recompile the kernekl and edit the initscripts 4.download any bootsplash and make an initrd with the image 5.reboot and that's all Expected Results: maybe i expect to implement a simple version of bootsplash with the most simples features Additional info: http://www.bootsplash.org maybe anyone can take a look arround the suse ftp for the bootsplash patches.
